    The document calculates the total water demand for a public building based on the number and type of fixtures. It lists 20 different fixtures, their weight in fixture units for cold, hot, and total water. The total fixture units are 42.5 cold and 22.5 hot, resulting in a peak water demand of 51.5 gallons per minute (GPM). Based on a peak factor of 1.5 and duration of 60 minutes, the mean demand is calculated to be 34.3 GPM. The required overhead tank size is 1030 gallons or 3.89 cubic meters. The recommended transfer pump capacity is 34.3 GPM or 7.79 cubic meters per hour.
